Recycling lead from

To conclude this section, reference may be drawn to what is called the Placid process for recycling lead from batteries. Placid denotes the leaching of lead in warm, slightly acidic, hydrochloric acid brine to form soluble lead chloride. Lead is won from the lead chloride on the cathode of an electro winning cell and is collected. Chloride anions are released simultaneously, but then react immediately with hydrogen ions that have been produced stoichio-metrically from electrolysis of water in the anolyte and passed into the catholyte through a membrane. The hydrochloric acid that is formed is returned as a make-up content to the leaching bath.

The sintered ore is then passed to the blast furnace, where it is mixed with coke together with various slags, silica, limestone and recycled lead from emission control devices. In the furnace, the lead is initially converted to oxides by injection of a blast of air. Subsequently the oxides are reduced by carbon and CO to metallic lead. A slag comprising mainly iron and calcium silicates is also formed. The liquid lead flowing from the furnace is about 94-98% pure, and is known as lead bullion. 

Secondary Lead. The emphasis in technological development for the lead industry in the 1990s is on secondary or recycled lead. Recovery from scrap is an important source for the lead demands of the United States and the test of the world. In the United States, over 70% of the lead requirements are satisfied by recycled lead products. The ratio of secondary to primary lead increases with increasing lead consumption for batteries. WeU-organized collecting channels are requited for a stable future for lead (see BATTERIES, SECONDARY CELLS Recycling NONFERROUS METALS). 

Because about 80% of the lead consumed in the United States is for use in lead—acid batteries, most recycled lead derives from this source of scrap. More than 95% of the lead is reclaimed. Hence, the bulk of the recycling industry is centered on the processing of lead battery scrap. 

Seventy million vehicle batteries are produced each year in the United States. About 80% of discarded lead-acid batteries are being collected and recycled. Lead-acid batteries contain about 15-20 lb of lead per battery and about 1-2 gallons of sulfuric acid. Vehicle batteries are banned from disposal in Nebraska landfills as of September 1, 1994. 

Illustration 9.5 indicates that one may have parallel paths leading from reactants to products and that in the case of an autocatalytic reaction, one path may be preferred over a second until the product level builds up to a point where the second becomes appreciable. In this example, the magnitudes of the rate constants are such that the vast majority of the reaction occurs by the autocatalytic path. In cases such as these it is desirable to use a CSTR or recycle reactor to enhance the reaction rate by virtue of the back-mixing of product species. 

In 1990, 10,600 tons of soil contaminated with cadmium and lead from a former battery recycling facility in Savannah, Illinois, were treated with the STC Remediation, Inc., reagents. The vendor states that the reagents, on-site technical support personnel, and the on-site quality assurance personnel cost 51.00 per ton of soil treated (D113382, p. 13). 

Nitroso derivatives (120) are obtained from indoles they exist largely in oximino forms (121) (80IJC(B)767). The N-nitrosation of 5-chloroindole is followed by a migration of the nitroso group from N to C-3, to give an indolenine-3-oxime (122) hydrolysis and recyclization leads to a indazole carbaldehyde (123) (86JA4115).

The typical operating conditions of xylene and EB isomerization processes are shown in Table 9.3. These conditions minimize the above side reactions. Pressure, temperature and H2/HC ratio are key parameters that define the partial pressure of C8 naphthenes intermediates for EB isomerization. Naphthene cracking and disproportionation/transalkylation are responsible for the C8 aromatics net losses that affect the overall pX yield. The C8 recycled stream from the isomerization unit to the separation unit is three times higher than the fresh feed stream (since there cannot be more than 24% of pX in the C8 aromatic cut after isomerization). This means that each percent of loss in the isomerization unit will decrease the pX yield by 3%. For example, when standard mordenite-based catalysts lead to 4% of net losses, the overall pX yield is roughly 88%.
